Love Your Brain is a free digital platform developed by Monash University, Stroke Foundation, and the Menzies Institute for Medical Research at the University of Tasmania to empower people to take action to prevent stroke.
The platform is designed to increase awareness of stroke risk factors and encourage simple steps towards better health – using evidence-based content via emails, text messages or an online course.
Setting priorities for research on the effects of Climate Change on Health Outcomes and Systems
The project aims to identify priorities for research on the effects of climate change on health and health systems in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.
TOPS – The Osteoarthritis Prevention Study
TOPS (The Osteoarthritis Prevention Study) is a 48-month study aiming to help researchers discover whether diet and exercise can prevent knee osteoarthritis in women aged 50 years or older.
Pelvic Pain in Men
Researchers from The University of Queensland want to better understand pelvic pain in men. Your participation will offer new insight into pelvic pain and has the potential to provide a new foundation for future clinical trials that can ultimately improve clinical management.
The Brain Energy Study
In this study we hope to gain a better understanding of how to keep the brain healthy and active for longer, by looking at patterns of brain activity in different groups of people. We are looking for healthy adults, with no history of head injury and mental illness, right-handed, aged between 40 to 64 years old to volunteer.

Sweet N Sour: Stratifying low-calorie sweeteners for type 2 diabetes risk
This study is designed to investigate whether different low-calorie sweeteners are more or less prone to affect blood glucose control. We will also test which sweeteners affect glucose absorption from the intestine, and whether they alter the types and amount of bacteria present in the intestine.
A world first MRI study investigating how areas of the brain responsible for sensory processing and sense of self change in pregnancy
Pregnancy is a time of profound physiological change, where the body rapidly adapts to accommodate a growing foetus. It is also a personally transformative time, where knowledge and skills are developed to adapt to a new identity as a parent. This study uses MRI, cognitive and sensory testing to understand how neuroplastic changes might impact sense of self.
